NOIDA: The National Green Tribunal on Monday directed the Noida Authority to submit the format of completion certificates issued to builders whose projects fell within a 10km radius of the Okhla Bird Sanctuary.

The green tribunal is hearing a petition challenging the Union ministry of environment's August 19 notification, demarcating the eco-sensitive zone around the bird sanctuary. "There are several points that the NGT is looking into in their review petition. The entire basis on which the 100 meter eco-sensitive zone was decided is now being reviewed," advocate Gaurav Bansal, who challenged the 100-meter limit on three sides in the NGT, said. The 100 meter limit has been challenged in one more petition, and the NGT combined combined the two petitions into one case on Monday.

The Noida Authority informed the tribunal that it has complied with orders and has issued a public notification stating that the decision on the outer limit of the eco-sensitive zone is now dependent on the ongoing case in NGT. The next date of hearing in the case is scheduled for December 16.tnn
